Greetings

I using the following script to create a new message

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate

-- create a new message with the information from the current message
set draftMsg to make new incoming message with properties {subject:"Hi", content:"Testing"}

-- open the new message we just created
open draftMsg
end tell

A copy of the message is created in the MyComputer->Drafts folder. Is it possible to avoid this creation as it leave behind a copy?

Thanks in advance
Biju

I haven't used much scripting in Entourage, but have you tried making a new
"outgoing message" or maybe even just "message" instead of "incoming
message"?

I using the following script to create a new message

Your script uses draft, edit the script using this format:


tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {BCC
recipients:"(e-mail address removed)", content:"This is body text." & return & return
& "Thank you." & return, subject:"A new message for you"}
open newMessage
end tell

Hope this helps!
